New Pets Added Below – “Mike”
On January 13th, our sweet Winter the Dolphin made her return to the sea. Encased in a Himalayan sea salt urn, the ashes of Winter were released into the Gulf of Mexico by her animal care staff aboard the U.S. Coast Guard’s 45-foot Response Boat. In her honor, there was a C-130 flyover by the Coast Guard to begin the ceremony-at-sea. A poem was read in her memory before her ashes were released. Flower petals of roses and orchids were also released into the Gulf of Mexico and the team blew bubbles, honoring one of Winter’s favorite enrichment activities. Her legacy will continue at Clearwater Marine Aquarium with an onsite memorial for visitors.
Goodbye sweet Winter …. Rest in Peace
How she got her name…as a puppy, she jumped all 4 paws off the ground when excited. She still does this today. My daughter said it was like a baby kangaroo (a “joey”), so that became her name.
“Both dogs are English Springer Spaniels and both are Vienna Choir Boys”
“Best Dog Ever” – Loves anything “tiny” – Kids, Babies…
There are so many of us who have animals in the village and it is nice to get to know everyone!
My pets are rescues.
Carly loves to play chase around the dining table, and loves her toys
Stoli – Anything new brought into the house is automatically hers by default
Mike is a rescue from when he was just a wee puppy. He only spent 1 day with his Momma. He’s been living the good life in Florida with me ever since!
